Review:
Both my daughters ages 8 and 10 are giving this book 5 stars!
We all agreed that this book made making friendship bracelets easy. It had detailed instructions with pictures. The illustrations were very simple and went step by step.
While my 8 year old did have a few problems along the way she did figure them out, after reviewing the photo’s. The girls were very proud that this was something they could do on their own.
While they knew how to make simple bracelets before this book, they now know how to make designs and multiple types of bracelets.
This book also contained a section on how to make hair wraps. They were excited about this chapter. They got hair wraps last year while we were on vacation. Now they will be able to do their own hair wraps at home.
So far they have had a couple hours of fun with this book. So would I of bought it off the shelf? The simple answer is yes my girls have really enjoyed getting to review this book. If you have daughters who like to do crafts then this book is for them and you.
